I am not convinced the employment application is to be used in the selection process

I maintain that if the content of the application is used to reject any applicants or to separate "qualified applicants" from "unqualified applicants" that it is part of the selection process.

The conclusion to be reached that since the accuracy and efficiency of this part of the selection process is based solely on the unverified and unchallenged truth of the applicant then the application in and of itself has little value as a sole determining factor of an applicant's suitability for employment as a police officer. It doesn't really matter whether or not the application includes what you refer to as a Personal History Questionairre because even if it does, depending on the answers to those questions, rejection can occur even if the responses are unverified.
